Kunstverein Hamburg: Solo exhibition Korakrit Arunanondchai
»Songs for dying / Songs for living« - Life and death as atmospheric narrative
The young artist Korakrit Arunanondchai knows how to translate his own experiences into atmospheric stories and make them experienceable as narratives. Starting on December 4, the Kunstverein Hamburg is dedicating a solo exhibition to him entitled Songs for dying / Songs for living, in which the cycle of life and death is retold.

The Kunstverein Hamburg opens a solo show of the artist Korakrit Arunanondchai (*1986) on December 4 and thus shows Arunanondchai's most extensive publication to date. On view is an excerpt of his work, in which he incorporates personal experiences and emotional states by means of video installations, expansive paintings and objects, translating them into atmospheric stories. In the solo exhibition Songs for dying / Songs for living, Arunanondchai processes the death of his grandfather by embedding it in a narrative of the cosmological emergence of the world and the cycles of life and death, growth and decomposition that accompany it. Visitors can be captivated by grief, transformation, and spiritual power in the atmospheric spaces that emerge there, adding a new perspective on life and its potential forms.
The exhibition is the result of a collaboration with the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst Zurich and the Serralves Museum in Porto, both of which have already recently organized a solo exhibition on the artist. Songs for dying / Songs for living can be visited until February 20, 2022.

First bronze sculptures by Mathias Kadolph
Patio, Teatro piccolo, Vis à vis
The lively, dynamic and concentrated formal language of sculptor Mathias Kadolph has so far manifested itself primarily through his material, wood. Now, for the first time, he has had miniatures cast in bronze in an edition of twelve sculptures each. These convey essential impressions of his formal ideas and open up to new impulses for our perception.
